Meet Liz. Mother of two teenage kids and wife of Brian.

Faced with midlife and realizing that unless she gets her skates on, she'll never get to live out her fantasy of traveling the world with her family (and be like that woman from Eat, Pray, Love), Liz plans a year-long globetrotting trip. Annoyingly, things don't quite go as expected.

This is probably because Liz is slightly deluded and chooses to ignore the fact that her husband has acid reflux and can't eat anything foreign, and her teenage children would rather scroll funny Snapchat videos than look at old things in Europe.

From an ill-fated yoga class in India, ancient ruin humiliation in Italy, to getting sloshed at a charity festival in rural England, Liz’s endless mishaps and hysterical far-flung flops make for an unforgettable experience that no family could ever forget. Even if they wanted to.

Armed with humor, optimism, this feel-good, hilarious, pee-your-pants, laugh-out-loud memoir will have you changing your life and racing to book your next adventure. Prepare to laugh, cry, and curl your toes.

Clench those buttocks, fellow traveller. We're off on a (real) family vacation!

For a first time author Liz does a great job describing the ups and downs of family travel around the world. Her stories are entertaining (and a bit shocking sometimes) but that's what makes them great. It's easy to place yourself in her shoes as she describes her thoughts and actions for various global situations. If you have done some traveling you will relate.

My one complaint is some of the stories had me wishing for a bit more - as in what happened next. For instance, what happened with the rest of the stay with the Japanese family? I think this book could easily have been a couple of hours longer with some more detail added.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. Although, I feel if I was a menopausal woman on HRT I would have enjoyed it even more.

A fun listen on family travels
